Bummer, started using Go Locker (pretty sweet lock screen). Noled not working, ... I like noled more than I like go locker. Uninstall go locker... :(

Dismiss with menu button

Hi there

Would it be possible to dismiss NoLed with MENU-button? That way I won't close my GoSMS popups when I've recevied multiple SMS-messages.

Thank you in adavance!

With Nokia rising and since they have "Permanent Time Display" on their amoled screens, I thought to do little more research on battery drain using this on SGS2 2.3.4. Last time with NoLED 4.3, "Permanent time display" drained around 20% of battery through night (all data connections off). Otherwise it usually drains from 0% to 1% through night.

Now "Permanent time diplay" doesn't work with NoLED 4.6.

I believe Nokia is able to really fine tune "Permanent time display" natively in their hardware. In Android however, since different OEM and hardware, there is no way to write common code to fully fine tine like disable touchscreen etc, we cann't fully harness this feature. I wish this was feasible in Androids too.

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 PM ----------

I did uninstall and re-install. "Permanent time display" started working. I will now do battery drain tests :)
[Android Apps and Games] willstay:
There is some bug in firing "Permanent time display". These are following things I did one at a time. After each settings change, I toggled NoLED widget on/off and verified "Permanent time dispaly" triggered.

Device: SGS2 2.3.4

NoLED: 4.6

1. Frenshly installed NoLED 4.6. Dots moving time interval changed to 30 second. Permanent time display enabled.

2. Settings -> Accessibility -> NoLED checkbox ticked.

3. Added monitorered apps for Exchange Email, Exchange Calendar, Yahoo messenger, Viber, WhatsAp (enabled them one at a time and verified it worked). Removed notifications for Gmails.

4. Changed Icon->Themes to Medium. Clicked checkboxes "Other icon" and "Contact photos".

5. Removed "Use back button" from "Dismiss button" and it stopped working here (i.e., Permanent time display stopped working). Restore that back did not work. After several toggling of various checkboxes, it started working.

6. Changed "Notification timeout" to 1 hour. It stopped working. Setting it back to "No timeout" didn't work.

So I guess combo of #5 and #6 stops triggering "Permanent time dispaly". But I couldn't exactly recreate the problem. I then reset #5 and #6 to default values. While I was doing all this testing, I plugged in charger few times. I ended up unable to make "Permanent time display" work.

But from what I realized, when NoLED is active, though checkbox "Disable touch screen" is ticked, the touchscreen is not disabled (clicking on the screen would light up capacitive buttons indicating touchscreen is active). So the main battery drain reason while "Permanent time dispay" is on should be active touchscreen consuming all the battery instead of amoled screen.

***NoLED is known to have some compatiblity issues with WidgetLocker, No LOCK, Handcent SMS and ChompSMS.

Got this app working initially but suddenly stopped, I do use handcent and no lock but no lock is not enabled....

Any workarounds I love this concept

Edit, randomly started working - i think its no lock thats the issue - oh well
[Android Apps and Games] tierix:
I use WidgetLocker & NoLed and have no issues so far. What compatibility issues are you refering to? I may have missed something...

I know HiddenLock doesn't work at all with NoLed though.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
added to to-do list.

Strange. I believe when you charge/discharge the phone some broadcasts never get fired. I've had that happen a couple of times with the screen off broadcast which is what triggers the permanent time display. Keep in mind that the permanent time display should show up ~30sec after the screen turns off.

About Nokia and their time display. You're absolutely right. I believe Nokia clocks that CPU at a deep sleep state while still maintaining the screen on to display the time. It also seems to me that they put these AMOLED screens in a different mode where only some pixels are lit, while the others remain completely off. Something we really can't do in Android given the various hardware that I have to work with, and the available APIs.

Like I said, its the screen off broadcast that is not getting triggered I think. Does NoLED work after a reboot? that usually sorts it out for me.

As for the touchscreen option. That was really intended for the SGS1 as it "echoes" a value to a mapped device that is directly related to the touchscreen drivers. I actually had to dig a bit into the kernel sources for the SGS1 to find the exact values to shut it off completely. While this works perfectly on the SGS1, the hardware and/or drivers are completely different in the other devices and so this little trick won't work. Android does offer some APIs to declare the activity as a non-touch activity, but that does little to actually disable the underlying touch drivers. I couldn't find any way to disable the screen touch drivers completely through the APIs.

Otherwise, I'm very interested in seeing how battery compares to your previous test :) I'm pretty impressed that you only lost 20% overnight with the screen being completely on :eek: I'm thinking it's probably the dot moving interval that you've changed to 30seconds. I'm changing this default in the next release from 3 seconds to 8. It would be great to see if this particular time setting changes anything.

I worked plenty on making WidgetLocker work with NoLED so that's why it kinda works. I know Blink doesn't work with WL, and I also do know that pressing the Home key when NoLED is visible will get you back to the Android default home screen, and not the WL one. These are the only two known issues with WL atm.
[Android Apps and Games] johnyang1111:
This app is great! but it seems noled shuts off the screen when I receive IMO notification. Is this expected or a bug? I have a At&t Samsung Galaxy s2
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Shuts off? You mean display a notification? If that' the case, then you most likely have a non-stock lock screen. Make sure you disable those :)
[Android Apps and Games] delti:
thx

hi, just wanted to say thank you for this fantastic app.

of course it d be great to have different colours for each monitored app, but nevertheless much respect and a warm thank you again.

notoriously broke but whenever i ll get some serious cash in my hands i will donate for sure. cheers.

[Android Apps and Games] johnyang1111:
The screen goes black and displays the icon when an IMO (chat) notification displays while I'm using the phone. I do have widget locker installed but without noled, the notification just appears in the status bar. I also have noled sleep enabled and when it wakes up, it reports all IMO notifications even those that no longer show up in the stock status page. IMO also does not display notifications when you're in the app but noled seems to catch these as well. I hope this is something easy to fix.. right now, I don't monitor IMO anymore... still thanks for the app.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
man, don't ever worry about donating. The "I'm really broke" option in the pop-up dialog is there for a reason.

I'm doing well financially (have a job) and I think these dollars should stay with the ones that need them most.

About the colors, the problem is that all 3rd party apps appear as one single dot if you don't have the icons feature enabled. I'm afraid that dedicating a color and a dot to each 3rd party app will cram the corners of the screen with these overlapping dots.

Here is a simple workaround though, make an image (preferably a png) with a dot filled with the color that you want your 3rd party app to appear in. Long press on your 3rd party app in Monitored Apps and select that image. Make sure you also enable "Others" under Icons. You should see these dots floating in the screen now.

Which version of NoLED you have installed? I thought I fixed that little bug in v4.6 :confused:

The problem is indeed WidgetLocker in your case. If you disable it, NoLED will never take over the screen while you're texting/chatting in IMO.

grumble: IMO, In My Opinion, is a bad name for an app !
[Android Apps and Games] johnyang1111:
I do have v4.6 installed.. I actually just downloaded this week. There was a recent update to Widget Locker though (v2.2.1).

haha, I know, IMO is not so good for reference purposes.

Also, looks like noled doesn't activate for Business Calendar notifications either.. is this also related to Widget Locker?
[Android Apps and Games] gollyzila:
This app is really cool. I'm using it on my Motorola Photon trying to imitate the Nokia N9 lockscreen. Can you add an option to show the lockscreen with double tap just like the N9 please?
[Android Apps and Games] ahmoda:
Hi

I Really love NoLed and really appreciate your work.. I;m using this app since last July... I'm using it with my Galaxy S2..

However, my friend has same phone Galaxy S2 but he has strange problem last Thursday after he update his phone with the last update via Kies with android 2.3.5

His problem is that no contact photo will appear with any missed call or SMS notification .. we have unistall NoLed and reinstall again.. with the same problem .. we even made a factory reset and reinstall the app and still no photo is appearing.!!!

My phone is updated to android 2.3.5 also , but I have everything working smoothly.

Do you have any Idea why the contact's photos not showing in NoLed notification

Thank you in advance
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I hope Kevin didn't change his implementation in v2.2.1. Because with the previous version things should work just fine. I went back to the code yesterday to double check my work and the only way NoLED will trigger is if you have not actually unlocked your widgetlocker screen by sliding the toggles. If you have done that, and got back to your home screen, NoLED should be suppressed.

For Business Calendar Notifications. They might be triggering a different package (app name) to display these notifications. Go to the Advanced Submenu and enable Monitoring. Then after you receive a notification from that app go back to that menu and view the logs to see which app you should be checking under Monitored Apps.

Not a bad idea! I'll look into it.

They might have patented that stuff tho :eek:

I just added Question #19 to the FAQ to answer that :)
[Android Apps and Games] delti:
Thanx for the workaround.will do that.looking forward actually :)
[Android Apps and Games] johnyang1111:
I think I have the Widget Locker unlocked. Although, I also have Tasker which disables Widget Locker and keyguard when I'm at home but this tasker profile only kicks in on "Display unlocked" event. Could this be the issue?

I played with this some more and I can see that the "Calendar" app sends the notifications. There are 2 Calendar apps listed in Monitored Apps menu in noled and I've enabled them both including Business Calendar. Looks like this may also be related to tasker disabling keyguard and Widget Locker. When both are on, noled does display the notification.. But when I have them disabled, I don't get any notifications from noled for Business Calendar. Oddly, this is the opposite for IMO where I get notifications even when the screen is on.

Thank you very much for replying to these posts!

gmail labels

hi2all,

first of all, i would like to describe my situation by now. im using an htc hero smartphone with notification led.

for incoming gmails i set up rules depending on subject. they are labeled and were moved into subfolders. for example, important mails are labeled "important" and are no longer shown in the inbox-folder.

until now i use "label notifier". with this fine program i can set up different notifications for different labels. for example: mails with the label "important" are alerting by a signal ringtone, a long vibration and: a red blinking hardware led.

other mails are alerted in other ways. "normal" mails for example are alerted by the normal ringtone, a short vibration and: a green blinking hardware led.

so far so good: works fine for me.

now i decided to change my smartphone. i like to get a sgs2. if that phone has a hardware led i can go on in the way above. but it has no hardware led.

now i tried noLED, so back to the topic:

- i can setup the display led for gmail accounts

- alerting works with messages inbox the gmail account

but:

1. no notification with labeled mails (seems to be the problem, that they are no longer in the inbox-folder)

2. no way to set up different colors for the "display LED" depending on different labels.

my problem is now:

how can i get a "display LED"-notification with noLED for my important gmails which are labeled by gmail as "important". i would get a different icon-color for that case.

has anybody a solution (except the hint not buying a phone without hardware-LED) for me? Or is this wish/feature planned to be implement in a comming soon version of noLED?

thanks in advance

casy
[Android Apps and Games] ahmoda:
I have noticed that ... in case there is a contact in phone book or google contact with photo .. and in the same time the same name with the same number in the SIM card ( in last update 2.3.5 in Galaxy S2) , the photo will not appear or showing until the contact in SIM card be deleted.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Oh man, that's your problem right there. Keep your Android lock screen. NoLED cannot function without it! I can't replicate or predict it's behavior if you have Tasker switching the guard on and off in a profile.

Hi,

I have no intention on making NoLED a Gmail fine-grained notification system. Most people want to get notified when their status bar shows a notification, and given that we need to actually switch our screens on to see if we missed something, NoLED is there to help. Nothing too fancy :)

If your custom notifications are getting triggered in the status bar, then you can check/tick Gmail under Monitored Apps and all of these new emails (no matter what label) will give you a Gmail icon on your screen so long as they appear in your status bar as well.

After all, that's what I'd like to get notified about on the screen: stuff happening in my status bar that I'm not aware of if the phone was in silent mode for example.

Good point. I remember someone else having similar problems earlier and solved it by deleting the contact on the SIM card. I'll add that to the FAQ entry.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I forgot to write yesterday that v4.6.1b is out in the OP guys. Change log is on the 2nd post.
[Android Apps and Games] johnyang1111:
I've been reading the changelog and I can see why you're relying on the lockscreen to activate noled ... If you ever find another reliable way of determining when the phone is not in use .. I'm voting for that update in advance.. :)
[Android Apps and Games] KristineNaj:
This is my first phone without an LED and I really miss it. NoLED has been a real find for me. I have been using it for only a week. I have the TMO Galaxy S2...my email notifications seem either lagging or somewhat unreliable. SMS are good (even got the contact pics up and running) Missed calls and visual voice mall notification are great. Facebook is sketchy.

Now, I do have widget locker and juice defender...could this be my issue?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!!
[Android Apps and Games] Holmes108:
Even though the lack of an LED was a MAJOR bummer to me when I got my Captivate, I honestly may still consider using NOLED on future phones with an LED, just because I've become so accustomed to being able to differentiate work email, personal email, text, etc... LOVE IT.
[Android Apps and Games] speedy00002:
I'm running the no led and love it. I have the G2X. But I just downloaded the go locker screen and now no led don't work with that.. Is there a fix to this or anything??
[Android Apps and Games] KristineNaj:
It IS a great program!! If I could only figure out these couple of issues
[Android Apps and Games] :
This is the best thing for a notifications led. With this, you actually know what's awaiting with the icon. No need to unlock the phone to know why the led is going off.

I love this app.

[Android Apps and Games] RXcetera:
Love noled and version 4.6 has corrected the problems I was having with 4.5. I especially like the k9 integration now!!

Only problem I'm having with 4.6 is that the notification colours seem to sometimes get mixed up. Example email is supposed to be green and sms is supposed to be red. If I get an email (triggers green, dismiss it) sometimes if I get an sms afterwards it will also trigger green instead of red. When I check the log it says sms... why is it chosing the wrong colour? Any ideas?

This is on a Galaxy S2 with Widgetlocker. WL integration has been perfect so far!

---------- Post added 4th November 2011 at 12:04 AM ---------- Previous post was 3rd November 2011 at 11:55 PM ----------

I should add that this only happens randomly. 80% of the time Noled picks the right colour...
[Android Apps and Games] htc6500uk:
Really missed the indicator on my Galaxy Note having come from a Nexus One. Perfect substitute.

As it has the timer in it, it could also be useful if there was an option for turning the sound notification and and off?

Excellent app and now also installed on my Samsung 7" Tab.

I had not known about this app before (probably because I didn't need it) but now think it would also be useful on my Asus Transformer but it is not compatible in the Android Market - will try a download from the noled site in the hope that it will work.

Many thanks.

UPDATE Well it seems to work but the screen is fixed in portrait mode, still, it's better than no indication !
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
If SMS works reliably then I doubt it's widgetlocker. I don't know if JuiceDefender terminates background apps. If it does, then either make an exception for NoLED or uninstall it to see if the problem persists. Given that I can't replicate these issues, the best way is for you to try eliminating the cause (by uninstalling other apps that might conflict) until you nail it down. If you do find the culprit, please do share it with us :)

Are you using dots? Also, how are you dismissing these notifications? I'm thinking maybe an old instance is popping up instead of a new one. Try to use the back key to dismiss notifications and see if that helps. The colors really have no chance of overlapping given the (very) different naming database for these settings.

I wonder why NoLED doesn't show up in the Market for you :confused: If your device sports Android > 2.1 then it should show up in the Market. At least that's how I've set it up.

for portrait mode, make sure the device is set to auto-rotate, then in NoLED settings, in the Miscellaneous submenu, tick "Reorient screen".
[Android Apps and Games] gollyzila:
For some reason double tap to dismiss is not working on my Photon. I have already made sure the screen disabled in not set in the settings.

Also, who else is using NoLED even though you have an LED indicator?
[Android Apps and Games] RXcetera:
I am using dots. I've been able to duplicate the problem reliably now. If I get an email (with K9) I'll get the wanted green dot. For some reason, following this, any whatsapp notification I get will also be green (instead of the red I set it to). The opposite also happens meaning red for email if I get the whatsapp notification first. I've been using the home button to dismiss... but I'll try the back key and see what happens!

I updated the 4.6.1b and it seemed to work for a bit but it's started happening again.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
did you enable that option? it's buried in the Miscellaneous submenu.

Is this happening even when you use the back key?
[Android Apps and Games] KristineNaj:
I uninstalled widget locker, no help.....I contacted JuiceDefender, and it turns out this was the issue. Their support was great and they helped me configure things properly. NoLED works pretty flawlessly now.

Thanks again.

NoLed with dualsim

I am using NoLed with an Dual-Sim Smartphone V350 (ViewSonic). I works like a charme. (2.2.2 / MP / Apps_2.6.35.7 / 4027_3_520)

The only open issue: Only missed calls on SIM1 trigger the notification. Missed calls on SIM2 are not recognized.

What can I do?
[Android Apps and Games] gollyzila:
Yes I did enable that option and I have rebooted many times since.

Hi Madmack, I just tried turning on notifications for IMO chat again while widget locker and keyguard is enabled and the screen is still shutting off when I get IMO chat notifications.. any idea what might be happening here?
[Android Apps and Games] Taomyn:
When an app such as Gmail clears its own notification in background for example when the new mail is read by another device, shouldn't NoLED also clear its notification? I thought NoLED did this in the past but recently I keep catching them being displayed after cleared by the app.

I've tried with the built-in NoLED option or by choosing Gmail in monitored apps (which is my normal choice as I prefer to use the app's own icons), but no difference.

Nevermind, Gmail notification dismiss is actually working on my Motorola Photon Android v2.3.4
[Android Apps and Games] gollyzila:
Bug: deleting an account from the Accounts app messes up the colors of other Gmail accounts in NoLED.
[Android Apps and Games] gollyzila:
Another bug: sometimes after I get a notification in my pocket my phone's screen doesn't turn on. I have to put my phone in and out of my pocket a few times to get it to show NoLED. I think this is an accelerometer bug since the red proximity sensor light is not on as this big is occurring.

I am using a Motorola Photon Android v2.3.4 rooted stock ROM.

Incoming Calls when NOLED Notification on screen...

Hi - I have noticed that if I have any NoLED icons on my screen and then put my phone in my pocket (so that the screen goes off using the proximity sensor) if I then receive an incoming call then and take my phone out of my pocket then the display remains blank.

I can however press the "home" button and the scren will then activate and I can see who is calling me.

I am using an HTC Desire S.

Have you seen this before or have any ideas how to resolve.

I guess I could turn of the use of the proximty sensor - but then my device would use more battery when my phone is in my pocket (which is most of the time!!!).

Cheers

Can anyone confirm they have NoLOD SMS notifications working with MIUI and the default SMS app?

My other notifications work fine (2 emails, missed call, voicemail), but SMS does nothing.

I may end up just going to Handsent and see if that works, but I'd prefer to just leave it stock if at all possible.

I had SMS notifications working fine on my previous ROMS.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Is there a way to disable the rest of the keys if using the power button to disable the notifications? I seem to hit the home and back keys in my pocket after a notification arrives. Thanks.
